After two days of leading worship, today is different - and the same...
I love to lead, but
I also love the times when I can just receive.
When I lead worship, it takes a little more focus.
By the time I stand in front of a group of my brothers and sisters in the faith, I've done hours of preparation. This work is a labor of love, and often I am able to set aside the mental focus, and enter into worship even as I rehearse.
When the group quiets, and people look to me to set an example of looking to Him in worship, I have to take the reins of leadership and quietly set them down.
It's time to trust Him.
It's time to let the hours of rehearsal do their job, let the song flow, let my heart look wholly to His heart.
It's time to simply be loved by the Father.
It's time to respond by loving Him in return.
It's time to worship.
But today is different.
Today I get to enter in without the technical concerns about Keys, chords, tempos, harmonies, intensities, transitions, and dynamics. I can let someone else do that.
No, that battle is for another day.
Yet I do still have to consciously set aside the everyday concerns of life. I still have to lean in to His heart.
I still get to receive His love.
I still get to love Him back.
I still get to worship.
Great thoughts bro! God bless!
